My Mom insisted that we go to this place. I had been there once before and really disliked it, but since she wanted to go there and see how it was, so off we went.
This is really a no frills kind of place. As basic as it gets, so much so that I was afraid to try most of what was on the menu. While the breakfast was edible and I did not get sick, it was very sloppy. If you dig a greasy spoon with a surly waitress, this is the place for you. Prices are WAY too high for slop in a hopelessly grim atmosphere.
Will never be back.
Wowzers! Talk about big portions!!!
On the outside.. seems like an 80s movie where truckers stop by to hang out before a long drive or when a guy on the "lamb" is trying to get some food fleeing from state to state.
On the inside, its like xmas everyday! Great environment with a train that runs around the whole room. All the condiments on the table like a usual diner and waitress running around taking orders.
Waitress was pretty nice, she was super busy since it seems like she's the only one taking orders. So my friend and i had to wait a while before we can actually order, but she was able to get our drink orders pretty quickly (probably to keep us committed to staying from the long wait!).
Once the food came out... soooo freakin big and delicious! I got the steak and eggs... it came with a side of hash browns, and biscut and gravy. HUGE portions! The biscut and gravey could be a meal on its own and is pretty good!
Not sure when i'll be back in Denver, but when I do i'll have to stop by again!
Never been for dinner, just breakfast. Â I thought the pancakes were great and the eggs were just right. Â I also must give a nod to their breakfast burritos- Yummy! Â I love the selection and that you can get a large or small burrito.
Generally a pretty spot... I probably should make a point of trying dinner there sometime!
While there is no doubt that the breakfast burrito's are tasty in the morning and are exceptionally inexpensive, the service that I was received was so aweful. We called in our order on the 23 of September. My boyfriend ordered for us, right next to me as I was driving over there as we were headed out for a fun day of hiking. He ordered his bacon hand held breakfast burrito and ordered a breakfast burrito with no meat for his 'vegitarian girlfriend.' Once we got to the Diner, we waited about 10 minutes for our burritos. When we got back in the car, I opened mine up and there was clearly a meaty looking substance oozing out of the burrito. So my boyfriend ran the burrito back in, and told them again that the burrito needed to be meat free. He then came out to eat his burrito in the car while I went inside to get my burrito after parking. When I came inside, I didn't wait long at all to get my new burrito, which was great. The un-great thing was that it came handed to me by an angry Bronco's jersey wearer who decided to very aggressively tell me that you have to say 'vegitarean' when ordering burritos from them if we wanted no meat. (which we did) Â (We also said that it needed to be meat free) According to angry Bronco's jersey wearer, "meat free" does not mean MEAT FREE. Which I stated makes no sense, and then he followed me to the exit very aggressively telling me that it does make sense and that 'meat free' still contains the unvegitarian green chile.
I have not eaten meat in 8 years, and in all of that time, when I state that I want no meat in something, that means that there will be no meat in it. So word of the wise Veggy's- This place you need to be super specific at, or you'll get aggressively spoken to in the front of the entire restaraunt by a man in a Bronco's jersey who does not know that meat free, means no meat.
-As for me, I'm going to Sam's- their burritos are always delicious, made correctly and there service has always been amazing!
Please avoid this place if you can.  Our waitress, Ursula, was spacey, distant and rude. I had to ask her four times for a glass of orange juice to which she would respond things like "I know!" and  "It's coming!". After everyone seated around us got their food, regardless of when they had  come in, ours finally arrived and was cold. The eggs in my Benedict were the only thing cooked properly.
When I told our server, she replied "I don't understand, I took it right out of the window, it should be fine." and then, "So, what? You want a new one or something?" I asked to order something new and she walked away with my plate. It took nearly 20mins to get the new dish and it was good, not great. (Two eggs and a basket of Waffle fries)
I love to support local businesses, but this is one I'd like to see closed. It's dirty, poorly attended to and cares nothing for any patron who isn't a "regular". Ick.
I love, love, love their homestyle corned beef hash! Â The pancakes are pretty yummy, too. Â Good food, lots of parking, and friendly service = Awesome Possum! Â It's also family owned and operated which is even more reason to eat here. Â
It gets really busy on Sundays so I suggest you try to beat the church crowd and get in early. Â The seating is pretty roomy so you're still comfortable even when it's crowded. Â They also have a cool choo choo train that goes around the room.
My wife and I go here a few times a month. Â Staff and owners are very friendly and the place is usually full but rarely packed unless you go after 9am on a Sunday morning then it's like any other place for breakfast. Â Table waits aren't too bad. Â The servers are decent, from time to time one or more will get overwhelmed with orders but that's not their fault as much as I would say add a busboy or two to fill coffee or water and save them time. Â Speaking strictly from the breakfast menu, the food is good too. We've had a variety of omlette's and skillet's, pancakes and waffles, grits and diet packages, etc. Â All have been good, I would point out the skillet I thought was overloaded with potatoes and not enough eggs and meat but could have been the day. Â Coffee and juices are decent, not as strong as I may like but not watered down in my opinion. Â Overall, this place blows Pete's away and has ample parking.
Review Source:Thank you yelpers - - pleasantly surprised - - would never have dropped in on this place w/out yelp endorsement! Â I had the basic brkfst - can't go wrong with that, right? right! great coffee, too.
Hubs had the skillet which was HUGE! he finished the whole thing and said it was pretty good!
Super friendly and attentive service which is great when you're sucking down your AM coffee!
The food is absolutely amazing! I find myself heading here for breakfast almost every Sunday and I'm never disappointed. The specials are always delicious but I still don't think anything beats their chile rellenos with eggs or huevos rancheros. The staff is friendly and the prices are really reasonable, especially when it comes to their steaks. Definitely a place I suggest to all my friends.
Review Source:3 words. Â Country. Fried. Skillet. Â You thought the country fried steak is yummy? Â Their country fried skillet has hash brown + the country fried chicken on top + green chili + 2 eggs. Â Oh but that's not it, you get a side of pancake, toast or biscuit with country gravy. I feel like I died and gone to heaven every time they set this loveliness on my table.
3 more words? Â Hand. Held. Burrito. Â Their $3 hand held burritos are HUGE! Â I usually split mine in two mornings. Â I used to stop by the McDonald's on the way to work and get a sausage mcmuffin, but things has changed ever since I discovered Breakfast Inn's hand held burritos.
I like the decor of the diner... old diner feel, tons of usual customers, friendly staff. Â Can't say their services are the best, but they do try. Â They're just so busy, especially on the weekends. Â I especially love the little train tracks by the ceiling on the right dining room. Â
Can't say it's the best place ever, but I do love this neighborhood diner. Â I'm a fan!
THIS PLACE IS A JOKE!!! Best breakfast in Denver??? Are you serious people? The food fits in with the likes of Denny's and Perkins. The service is comical..perhaps some of the most inept servers I have ever come across. Unless you are a "regular" (the idea of regulars at this place makes me laugh) they could care less about the quality of service they provide. The hostess was as friendly as a prison inmate and didn't ask how the food or service was. The reason she didn't ask was because she already knew the answer, HORRIBLE! A tip for management, the hostess is probably one of the most important people in the restaurant, if not the most important. They MUST BE FRIENDLY! I highly suggest you submit your "restaurant" as a candidate for Restaurant Impossible. You need help! You sell large portions of bland filler food such as potatoes and onions. $30 for 2 filler "meals" is ridiculous. No flavor, no style, no class, and dirtier than the bottom of your shoe!
They even have the audacity to put a sign in the vestibule stating "Rate us on Yelp". After their 3rd and final strike we are most certainly rating this place. 1 star in every category I can think of except one, 0 for service. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Le Peep is miles above this place and thats saying something!
So I'm giving 4 stars for the atmosphere and the service. Our waitress was so nice, helpful, and great with the refills on coffee and water. Â The atmosphere is small town which is something that is often missing in a big city. Â There is a cute little train that runs around the top of the restaurant. Â I really enjoyed the experience.
The food was probably more 3 or 3.5 stars. Â The breakfast burrito with green chile was good but a little dry on the inside....they should probably put a scoop of the chile on the inside before they roll it up. Â We asked for some green chile on the side so that fixed that problem. Â The hash browns are a little dry and they remind me of the inside of a baked potato that has been browned on a griddle or something. Â Not the crispy kind if that's what you like. Â The biscuits and gravy were SUPER good and so were the sausage patties. Â
All in all a great experience and I will go back. Â Plus it is nice to support the local businesses rather than just going to a chain breakfast place!!
Food was okay. I had biscuits and gravy. They had a strong buttery flavor to them and I wasn't sure if I really liked them or didn't like them at all... so I kept eating them and they satisfied me. My husband and daughter both enjoyed their breakfasts.
They servers seemed really busy, but our server and the person who greeted us when we walked in were very friendly. It seemed like most of the people there were regulars and were greeted by name.
My biggest issue with this place was that it was dirty looking. All the coffee mugs on our table were chipped and cracked and one even had lipstick on it. The place just had a old dirty feel to it.
That being said, I would go back and try it again.
We've been going to Breakfast Inn on E Evans for 17 years so this review is based on hundreds of visits. My eggs are always perfect, bacon thick and crisp and the biscuits n gravy are the best. Their homemade soups are always great. Like most business's today they do it with fewer people but no one moves faster than the friendly folks at BI. Food arrives fast and hot and is always spot on. We are thankful to have this great neighborhood diner. Cheers!
Review Source:We've been in Denver almost a year and I still really love this place. My family and I have gone here so many times that I can't even count. I've recently had to give it a break, just cuz I don't wanna get burned out on their delicious food but I WILL be back!
Our waitress always notices us when we come in and she serves us great food and a beautiful smile.
Patron of this restaurant for many years now. Honestly, this is where you go if you want hangover food! Cheap, (usually) quick and tasty if a little greasy. The staff are friendly and remember their regulars, and these guys deliver too. The food isn't top notch quality, but it *is* tasty - which sometimes is more important.
Review Source:If your name is breakfast thebn you better be ready to bring it!
Service: The host had us seat ourselves but the busboy was fast with our drinks. The waitress was polite but confused.
Atmosphere: A diner / dive feel. My water glass had lipgloss residue but the table was wiped clean. Â
Food: Freshly made and nicely seasoned. The pancakes were spot on. One was too cooked forming a tough skin on the bottom but the other one was melt in your mouth fluffy and delicious.
Price: you pay for what you get. breakfast for 2, 1 coffee and leftovers were under 19.00. Â
Final thoughts: A nice little greasy spoon if you are in the area.
Great greasy spoon! This place is a little off the beat and path in Denver, but once we got there we were seated quickly and drinking coffee within seconds.
Great breakfast spot. Good hashbrowns and the egg white omelet was perfect. Portions are large so make sure you go hungry.
Thanks Yelp, another spot found thru you!
Popped in today to get a quick bite while my tire was being replaced. Â
They seemed very busy; low on waitstaff and the ones that were there appeared harried. Â I had to wait about fifteen minutes for someone to take my order, though I was seated promptly. Â My waitress, when she arrived, was actually extremely nice and apologetic, too, for the delay. Â
I ordered my standard (I like to eat big breakfasts!), scrambled eggs, sausage links, toast, hashed browns and a side of pancakes, with coffee and orange juice. Â
I was most impressed with the pancakes and least impressed with the coffee. Â Personally I don't like un-chilled packaged creamers --- I prefer cold cream in a container for my coffee. Â The other stuff is too synthetic and weird tasting and I never enjoy it. Â
But back to those pancakes. Â They appeared regular, I guess, but I don't know if it was the batter or the syrup...but they TASTED delish and I mean DELISH. Â I ended up eating those two pancakes and a little bit of this and that from the rest, and left very satisfied and happy. Â
I'll definitely be back to try their fare again. Â My sense is that the staffing issue today was most likely anomalous.
The worst breakfast I've had in a long time. Â I guess they get one star for... existing. It was over priced ($30 for two breakfasts) and was impressively bland. I don't think I could make something so tasteless. Â I added tons of salt/pepper/hot sauce just to give it some flavor. Â The coffee was watered down and had the color of iced tea. Â They had a TV in the corner that was playing infomercials of a new hair removal device. Who wants to watch that while eating? I'm not sure how so many people could give such positive reviews. Â If you like bad country food that has no taste, you'll love this place.
Review Source:After work I had to find the closest diner food to satisfy my hunger, and this was the place.
My friend and I went in and it was almost completely empty, probably because it was 4:00 in the afternoon on a week day.
Let me say that the service we received from our waitress Pam was almost the better part of our visit than the food. She did an outstanding job of serving us as her honest, friendly and attentive attitude was in no short supply. Grade A service. I was starving so I ordered the California benedict, i.e. eggs benedict on whole wheat toast with avocados and tomato, and half an order of biscuits and gravy. One dish smothered in hollandaise, the other smothered in sausage gravy. It was one hell of a smothered meal. The California benedict was delicious with eggs poached to perfection. The biscuits and gravy were a perfect execution of the traditional "shit on a shingle" breakfast and did not disappoint. They also had a model train track running around the perimeter of the ceiling but unfortunately it was not in service due to technical difficulties when I inquired about having it fired up during our meal...Will go back if the opportunity arises.
I am a breakfast person and this place has great breakfast selections. Â Biscuits and gravy are very good. Â Omelets are great. Â Green chili, very tasty. Â They also have really good homemade baked items. Â The German chocolate cake is wonderful.
I usually go on Sunday morning and have always been seated promptly. Â Waitresses are friendly as is the front desk staff. Â
This is not one of the trendy breakfast places in Denver, Â but is an excellent choice if you want good food, good service and good prices.
This place has awesome breakfast, especially after a good night drinking. I live pretty close to this place and its nice to go to a place familiar that doesn't have a wait ever. Â Its usually fairly busy but I have never had to wait. Â
The staff are very friendly and know the menu and specials. Â 16oz country fried steak is huge. Â It should be a competition to eat it all and it comes with 2 pancakes, hash browns and 2 eggs. Â Good luck! Â My first stop when in need of some good recovery food.
So my roommate and I decided to go out for brunch this past weekend. We passed by (the new) Snooze on Colorado & 7th, but then saw the line was retarded long. People were just milling outside like they weren't actually hungry but instead racking up cred points by loitering. Bump that. We were headed south so a quick hit on the google maps search (no Yelp app for the pre yet...) gave us Breakfast Inn.
Man, this place impressed us. The food is definitely good breakfast fare. Not a single thing on my plate disappointed. I got a 11 oz ribeye steak, 2 eggs over easy, a hearty portion of hash browns (they're chunks here, not the thin strips), 2 biscuits, and gravy. All for $12. Now that's pretty awesome.
The entire joint is unassuming. The front sign merely says "BREAKFAST LUNCH DINNER". There's nothing fancy or hip about the decor but the place is packed. That immediately should tell you good things.
I plan on coming back here soon. It was good brunch for sure!
Good breakfast, but nothing spectacular. Â My server did a good job topping off my coffee and water, but she wasn't particularly friendly. Â
Everything in here seems dated and like it could use a good cleaning. Â It wasn't that dirty, just old maybe? Â I just wasn't feeling it. Â
It seemed like a good amount of people in there were regulars, with staff excited to see them, which made me feel a little out of place. Â
Cheap food though and decent breakfast.
A typical breakfast place with a bit of good character.
The Breakfast Inn was introduced to me as other Sunday morning diners have waits and long lines. Â Not the Inn, you're in and seated right away.
The food is good, not out of this world, but just plain good eating. Â The menu covers everything you may want. Â Nothing really missing on the menu.
I was given a hug by our waitress after giving her the tip upon paying our bill. Â That's love.
As a bonus, there is a train that circles the dining room area above in the ceiling.
This place grew on me. The first couple of times I went here I wan't really enthusiastic. What can I say, I don't like crowds. But I learned to time my visits for when they're a little less busy. The service here is prompt and friendly, even when they're slammed.
So far as I'm concerned, there's only one thing on the breakfast menu here: Corned Beef Hash. Now, I'm not talking about that stuff that comes out of a can but real, homemade hash with big chunks of onion, beef and potatoes, pan-fried to crispy perfection, and Breakfast Inn pulls this one off quite well.
My potential menu choices for lunch double from breakfast. For me, it's either the Gyros Sandwich or the Reuben, both of which are quite tasty and come with a golden mountain of fries.
A great go-to breakfast diner if you are in southeast Denver--and I mean that kinda shady area near Evans between Colorado and Monaco. I am a big fan of the breakfast burrito with chorizo--I appreciate that you can order a baby breakfast burrito, which is still the size of a plate. Service is fine, typical of a diner, reminds me of the diner in my hometown. This is a great place to go with friends if everyone wants something different; omelets, pancakes, etc. are all good. Avoid the bagel & lox platter--not too fresh-looking, and the bagel didn't even come toasted when my friend ordered it.
If you are looking for the kind of place where an electric train does laps along the wall while you're dining, the waitresses are a little rough, and the prices are low, this is definitely it. Apparently they have lunch and dinner, too, but I've not been tempted by the all you can eat spaghetti nights on Wednesdays.
Okay - I'm a little partial to the BI as it has been a tradition with my friends and I to go there on Sundays if I'm in town (I live in Chicago.) Â But, it really is a great place for good breakfast fare, especially my artery-clogging favorite, chicken fried steak. Â Great place for kids, and especially good now that there is no smoking any more. Â Good coffee, too. Â Can get crowded, especially on weekends. Â Long live the BI!
